I'ma just say. 50/50

I think it’s gonna be some relative, remember that this is the first time Ahjuicy has a relationship with a boy >////<

Killing stalking is not a yaoi

did we read the same thing?

The author koogi herself said it wasn't although it looks like one

Um what?!!!(￣∇￣")it's the first time l'm hearing this

Huh? But the genre-- oh well lf it's the author themself then--(￣∇￣")

I think the genre is Horror with Yaoi elements. Because the yaoi aspect is not the main focus, it's the lsyche of the two, especially of Sungwoo. It just so happens to have a Yaoi subgenre. But that is just my opinion

It’s a psychological horror, yes, it does include two men doing whatever the fuck but that doesn’t necessarily go in the yaoi genre like the author said

O-okayy ( T﹏T ) Thanks for explaining guyss...l didn't knew about the author's pov on this cuz l ain't following 'em on Twitter or whatever ....anyways thanku ..have a good day
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Apparently not. You were probably too focused on the smut to pay attention to the story.

its bl on lezhin tho....and honestly, the author totally marketed as bl....its thriller/psychological and yaoi....two men doing its considered yaoi/smut so :) Like a manhwa can be more than one genre and its shouldnt be such a argument if it is yaoi....noone is saying it was romance,even tho some people might have hoped for a happy ending knowing it was impossible...totally normal
the author says its not bl after using that aspect of it to be this famous, cause let be honest.,..that was a big factor why killing stalking is this famous...

man ╥﹏╥.....why do u have to bring this up everytime KS is mentioned..why?
it doesnt change a thing of what a great manhwa is.

"It's a big factor" um.... no, because it was a gruesome story that shocked its readers. It must have been a big factor for those who read it just for the "yaoi" thing. Regarding it as yaoi, despite the authors clarification, is pretty disrespectful imho. Comparing it to other BLs is pretty nonsensical - since it isn't about actual romance between two men.

No one is saying it isn't a great manhwa lol. But if facts hurts your enjoyment of it, idk what to tell you. No one can stop you from thinking whatever you want about the work, disregarding authors actual clarification. It was the furthest thing from romance, but ok.

They literally said they were scared it was gonna be like KS ,but its not and u came with your facts that noone asked:But ItS NOt YaOi...like wtf,it gets annoying at some point.......Yaoi doesnt mean its a cute romance,it means its smut with two men,to not get in the discussion that is a old term that some people say it fetishisation for mlm and they are uncomfortable or so i heard....like people will attack u if u say yaoi insted of bl
Anyways some people tend to focuse on the emotional and psychological parts of the plot too,not just on the thriller and ignore the rest....
I respect the author ,but they totally sold it to readers as bl and later say its not...thats why everyone is confused now.My point is anyone is free to think what they want so your comment was so unnecessary,they didnt even say KS is yaoi....its like u people work for the author lmao

Did you even understand what genre"Yaoi and Romance" even means? Yaoi is 2 men in manga involved in sexual activity but romance in the other hands involved the romanticism of the couple.. that's mean KS also include part where sangwoo and bum have sex so automatically it's yaoi wether the author say otherwise..also the author promote it as bl manga with psychology and horror and yes they want to focus on the psychology but doesn't change the fact the yaoi involved in it..end of statement

Obviously not lmaoo, well I guess it was between two men, however there was no romance whatsoever so i don’t think it could be classed as a bl you know? The only LGBT characters were yoonbum and the guys at the gay bar ig

to be fair most of its readers were after its yaoi "elements".. if the author themself says its not then its not, but we still cant dismiss that it leaned heavily towards yaoi... even how the story was introduced was baiting it to be yaoi... just saying

Ah I didn’t realise the term yaoi is different to just romance lmaoo thanks for saying, tho as someone who is mlm, I do kinda find it stupid that people get attacked for calling it “yaoi” or attacking women for reading this sort of thing. It’s only fetishisation if someone who isn’t mlm is obsessed with gay men or gets off to mlm relationships I believe, tho I agree with what you said

the only reason i asked this was because i was not aware the author said it wasnt yaoi, and please if the author did not announce that it wasn't we'd all be assuming it was yaoi, it fits the criteria... lets not act all-knowing... and before i get attacked, ill say that i respect that the author doesnt want it labeled as yaoi.. periodt.

yes.agree on everything u said.
Sangwoo was just casually inside (￣∇￣") im joking btw...Sangwoo isnt gay cause the author says so ....she says a lot of things that make no sense, but ok ,cause he could have been bi ,at least my opinion

I feel like the “focus on the psychological aspect” is so funny to say after totally promoting as bl.....like the reader can focus on what they want...im sure everyone agree its a great psychological manhwa,noone treats its as pure bl smut or some sweet romance...
Some readers are just more emotional and tend to focus more on the emotional aspects that were also part of the plot.....im sure some were sad about the end :/

its so unfair that u just mention KS and several people pop and say its not yaoi...for no reason
As long as someone is plus 18 they can read it and focuse on whaterver part they want....
Facts dont hurt my enjoyment but at some point it gets fucking annoying....everyone knows the facts and what the author said.

Two men doing it is not,,,considered yaoi??? Lmao i dont think we read the same thing. It was sex but it was manipulative as shit, it wasn’t just oh yeah hot steamy gay anal sex it was straight up yoonbum forcing himself on sangwoo and sangwoo accepting that and using it knowing how he controls yoon , and the whole stockholm syndrome thing. The author intended it to be this way, in a horror way. But oh if it was a male and female lead it wouldn’t be considered romance, or anything close to that. Them having sex or an ‘intimate’ relationship was to just add onto the actual story. And if you payed attention it wasnt just all about them having sex.

Who said it was just about them having sex? Who?????Is it hard to accept that those moments were also part of the plot and we cant pretend that never happened....
Also that is what yaoi means,if the author didnt say it wasnt,everyone would say it is bl....thats why there is the confusion
“Bum forced himself on him and Sangwoo had to accept?” are u forreal? it wasnt steamy and it was manipulative?WHAT? how does that matter,there many yaois like that....
“If it was a girl it wouldnt be romance?” Who says it was romance??? What the fuck are u saying? You make no sense at all,yaoi isnt romance,romance its a different genre....
Plus the author totally used the bl genre to promote and later said focus on the psychological...like why does she even need to say that? When u read,u read it as a whole and there is noone that reads KS as a fluffy romance so u can chill....its like saying the obvious...
Personally i think i readers is free to focus whereever the fuck they want...its up to the reader.
Also i clearly said it was a subgenre and that the main genres are thriller and psychological...you cant just ignore what i say and come with your conclusions


Also the “i dont think we read the same thing” is getting annoying af......its a very childish remark lmao
Did u read only some chapters and ignore some? Cause i appreciate the psychological/thriller as much as the emotional or their more vulnerable moments....
my point is (●'◡'●)ﾉ u dont have to bring the “but isnt yaoi “everytime KS is mentioned.....we know its not that simple.....

But think what you want...just dont put your words in my mouth :)

you guys should notify the author that KS is BL on Lezhin ,lmao ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
if she sells it as BL, its kinda weird to make everyone so confused like this xD
Not that it matters, its still a great manhwa ,but not for children obviously, since is mature with +18 bl scenes

I think what you're misunderstanding is people who say it's a yaoi, are focusing on the sex part mostly, which wasn't supposed to BL genre. It's why BL gets this bad rep by woke people who read KS and somehow equate it something from a BL universe, which the author has negated. If people insist on doing so either way, it's their choice, but that doesn't change the facts at all.
Genre or sub genre isn't determined by fans, that's the authors right and the author refused to tag this under "yaoi" or bl, because it isn't about love at the end of the day, even if people like to think it's "twisted love"
I think the author was adamant about it not being tagged as yaoi, so as to not justify the terrible and unacceptable behaviours in it as some justification in the name of love.
Also I think the author didn't want it to associated only with the sex part, and not the story itself. Now you can say that it wasn't about the smut for you, but not to many others who consider it foremost as a yaoi, than anything else.
It's important I think to make people aware that it isn't a yaoi or bl, but has sexual activity between two male characters.
There are many fucked up yaois true, but the authors explicitly publish it in that genre so it's acceptable to refer to them as BLs. The author of KS refuses to do so, so it's only fair to respect it if you liked the story itself, and not because you enjoyed how fucked up their sex life was in the story.

They're not BL scenes. 18+ sure. If a shoujo manga had two male characters have sex under fucked up circumstances, it wouldn't make the story bl. The love wasn't the focus of the story or even the intention, so it isn't considered bl. The author clarified it to the readers, so it's upto the readers who respect the author and the story to accept the facts, not be obstinate. If you wanna think of it as "yaoi", go ahead. But it isn't. You're free to think whatever you want.

The author shouldnt sell its as BL on lezhin then.....she must know that is BL there and readers consider like that,even here on mangago is yaoi....
I think its very unfair to make yaoi as a genre into such a horrible one,like the label it will make KS into a romance,when its just to remind people that there are scenes +18 between two men .......that simple
Also she clearly marketed as bl to gain this fame....
I think people misunderstand me , but if you read it and think its a lovestory,it has nothing to do with the genre.......thats an immature readers who is probably underage or easily influenced.
Even if is a twisted love for some readers,people still know that it was twisted, so like everyone can chill about anyone thinking what they had was cute.

I respect the author xp its just than when u repeat its not yaoi,it makes it worse....its like bringing problems that arent necessary....how a reader feels about a manhwa its entirely up to them,the author has no say in that.KS is known as a twisted thriller/psychological but even the yaoi subgenre aided on that fame....it doesnt take any of its greatness

all in all i am tired of explaining the same thing because we see it differently...thank you for being polite in your arguments....we might not agree but its ok.

think whatever also.....its not like yaoi is such a horrible thing.....it doesnt change anything
u can think its not yaoi and thats fine.
Also yaoi doesnt mean they have to be in love......there are mangas with no plot or feelings whatsover ,that are yaoi...why does everyone ignore the fact that is bl on lezhin lmao....the author could change that

So you read it because you thought it was yaoi, but you didn't like it because it had yaoi smut right? So what's the issue?
You say you respect the author but clearly disregard their wishes - marketing or not, which I don't it was, it was people who were reading it FOR THE twisted smut that gave it that reputation. Not just here, but in another BLs as well. Comparing it to POTN or even semantic error where the character is called sangwoo....the fact is it isn't a yaoi, regardless of what people might think.
Readers can choose to focus on anything in the story, but the author decides the genres and the author of KS doesn't want it to associated with BL or yaoi. So there are the facts. What happened or didn't happen isn't really important.
If you like it for the amit, or read it because it's "yaoi" you can say it. But the facts don't change.
The rest I've already explained so it's up to you. I don't understand why it's important to argue if it's a yaoi even if it has been clarified as not being one..the story will remain what it is.

Yaoi isn't horrible lol. It's the best~ but KS isnt yaoi for me, not by a long shot. And even more so because the author doesn't classify it as one. Which is a relief, because if that is yaoi, then the bad rep that yaoi literature has will never go away.. it's partly due to immature people and their toxic moral grandstanding that psychological thrillers in the yaoi genre are becoming associated with only toxic stuff and unhealthy relationships. Which isn't true at all. It's important to separate what is and what isnt BL - KS isnt one, regardless of what it's readers would like to think.

What happened isnt important and i should accept the facts?Whatever lol
When i read it, i didnt even know it was yaoi since i wasnt familiar with the genre,even now when i think about KS, i feel like its so special that it deserves a genre of its own.....but to deny a part of it,its absurd.
It has more to do with the reader than what the author says about the genre.You literally cant tell people where to focus and i still think that isnt as bad as u people say.....the fandom appreciates every aspect of the manhwa.Most of them just have fun and make jokes about it...nothing serious...all kind of readers...some focus on the smut...so what? its their right...there are other readers who focus on the plot.

anyways it seems like we see it differently,but not entirely lol at least we agree its great ,yaoi or not xp

No wait a minuteΣ( ￣□￣||)-- where is this QSO heading to-- Chill y'all ╥﹏╥

The best possible way is to stay low profile, try not to interact with the people who has somewhat relations to the target, have prepared evidences and proof to convince the law that you are not guilty. DON'T TELL ANYONE ANYTHING, EVER.
